From Arizona to Alaska... from New York City to the Suwanee River...Cowboy Envy is doing its part to keep western music from being lost in the shuffle. Their work has garnered much praise and multiple awards, including the Best Harmony award from the Western Music Association (twice). Their vocals have been described as "heavenly... with harmonies to die for" (Atlanta Journal Constitution).

High Praise for Cowboy Envy from Ranger Doug:

"It is an act of art to balance irony, pure silliness, and contemporary sensibility with deep love and obvious respect for tradition. For several years now Cowboy Envy has achieved this magic balance beautifully, adding showmanship, musicianship, and superb original music to this mix as well. They are the freshest thing going in Western music today."

COWBOY PLAYGROUND

Cowboy Envy is honored to be included by the Putamayo World Music label on one of their latest CD compilations, COWBOY PLAYGROUND! This fabulous recording also includes Peter Rowan and Don Edwards, Riders in the Sky, Ian Tyson, Dave Stamey, and many other well known musicians. The Cowboy Envyy contribution of "Happy Trails" features the original Cowboy Envy trio with DeDe Vogt (Too Short), Berné Poliakoff (Frenchy), and Kathleen Hatfield (Buffalo K). It is distributed on the Putamayo Kids label in over 80 countries.

Always in full cowperson regalia, Cowboy Envy is at its best in live performance. The humor is unbridled, the tales are spirited and it's always fun. But you'll get the idea if you listen to their CDs, "Real Cowboy Girl" or "Wagons Ho". Who else has a cowboy tribute to Tony Bennett?
